During the years 2002-2012 , Sweden reduced taxes the second most in the entire EU . Sweden is now in fourth place. The total tax collection amounts to 44,2% of GDP. France — one of the largest economies in the union — has a tax level of 48% of GDP.
The general tendency in the member states is that the tax level is being raised. In Sweden it is being lowered. So we have also had increasingly large tears in the social safety nets. How many new in-work tax deductions will the Alliance implement if they receive renewed confidence?
Vote red-green this fall.
